How Noah Gragson Overcame a ‘Nosebleed’ to Finish 2nd in Xfinity Race at Las Vegas

During the NASCAR Xfinity race, Chase Briscoe won at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. However, 2nd-placed driver Noah Gragson endured a fairly uncomfortable race. Apparently, the 22-year-old suffered from a nosebleed during the race and was forced to have it patched up.

Speaking about the win, he admitted that it was a good day in the office for the team. He also felt that it was his best performance so far. Gragson confessed that he would have liked to win on his home track, but it wasn’t meant to be. So now, he is determined to try again at Talladega.

On the subject of his bleeding nose, Noah Gragson revealed that he tried to pull off the roll bar padding. At the end of the day, he was simply glad to have survived the race. Now he is going to look ahead to Talladega next weekend.

What else did Noah Gragson say about the injury?

According to the driver, his nose felt more like an annoyance than anything else. He insisted that it would have been horribly uncomfortable to try and put his head back while driving.

Noah Gragson revealed that there was quite a lot of blood pouring from his nose earlier. Luckily, he managed to get it cleared up once the race concluded. Later on, when he dove into the pits, the team gave him some paper towels to put into his nostrils.

Unfortunately, he soon realized that stuffing foam into his nose was a really bad idea, as it got clogged. Finally, he managed to shove the towel up his nose and keep it there for the whole race. He joked that his face probably resembled something out of ‘Stepbrothers’, as he was bleeding that much.

Speaking about what may have caused the nosebleed, Gragson suspected that the dry air at Las Vegas was the culprit. He insisted that this weather was nothing new, but he probably was not used to it. The driver also revealed that his lips were quite chaffed and dry, which was why his nose bled.
